CANADA, THE ARCTIC, NEWFOUNDLAND, THE RIVER & GULF OF ST. LAWRENCE 1 CHAPTER ONE MAPS OF THE WHOLE OF CANADA The early settlement of Canada was a function of the exploitation of its abundant natural resources, the Fishing Banks in the east, whaling in more northerly waters, and the trade in beaver and other furs that would form the basis of the Canadian economy for centuries. The search for a route to the west, and thus to the silks and spices of the Orient, played a subordinate role in Canada's exploration. Permanent settlement was limited and slow, and the fishing industry, for example, initially relied on transient shore-based settlements that were only operative in the summer months. Finally, true agricultural-based settlement slowly developed throughout the 17th century, but it was always the fur and fishing industries that dominated. The success of the early 18th century French fur trade in Canada depended to a considerable extent on traders diplomacy with native tribes, maintaining peace between factions that had for centuries warred with their neighbours. Such wars often resulted in forced mass tribal displacement, and under these conditions both the acquisition of pelts and the trading of them became almost impossible. Additionally, the French had never tried to displace natives by settlement and their “land claims” were induced simply as a barrier to British interference in the fur trade. French involvement in native affairs was largely to induce alliances with them and thus to promote and protect trade with them. The native groups were seen as independent and certainly not bound by French law, and gift giving as a means of both cementing and maintaining these relationships became centrally important (Harris, 1987). It was eventually the failure of this simple functional system, enforced by the British blockade cutting off French trade supplies that resulted in the final breakup of French control of Canada. The treaty of Utrecht in 1713 forced France to recognize the British claims to the coastal zone of Hudson Bay, British “ dominion ” over the Iroquois, a free-trade zone in the interior, and supposedly defined territorial boundaries and off-shore fishing rights in the east. Despite the provision for free trade, the status quo of the late 17th century was largely maintained with the French quickly and efficiently restoring trade and relationships throughout the Great Lakes region leaving the British to the northern Hudson Bay trade routes. This deadlock was more or less maintained for thirty peaceful years. In 1748 however, the Ohio Company was formed by a group of London merchants and prominent Virginian plantation owners, and given crown title to half a million acres of land in the Ohio valley. The French responded to this incursion by military intervention in 1752, and by 1755 the British were virtually excluded from continental America, west of Montreal. Under the leadership of William Pitt, with the tide of war changing yet again, attention was turned to the North American situation and a determined effort was made to resolve the dispute forever. The initial move was to achieve control of the Ohio. The British in a sudden attack, burned Fort Frontenac with all its supplies destined for the French Ohio forts, and 2 EARLY PRINTED MAPS OF CANADA II. simultaneously invaded the Ohio valley. The defence of the Ohio valley was very dependent on the allegiance of the Ohio tribes, which the British proceeded to cleverly subvert by promising to relinquish all territorial claims to tribal lands west of the Appalachians. With the apparent achievement of their aims, the Ohio tribes ceased fighting forcing the French to yield the Ohio region to British control. The following year a three pronged attack finally resulted in the capture of Quebec and the end to French domination in Canada. The territorial rights of the Ohio tribes were ignored, their ineffectual opposition was quashed by the British and a major expansion westward commenced (Harris, 1987). The flood of American traders with abrasive attitudes to the local tribes and the removal of the “ gift ” system as compensation for the right to trade in tribal territories resulted inevitably in a loose Indian federation that attacked the American traders and British forts, but by 1764 they were forced to submit to a better supplied and organised British force and a decade of peace followed. However, the subsequent Quebec Act of 1774, which extended the borders of Quebec to include lands between the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers sufficiently infuriated the American colonists to initiate the invasion of Quebec in 1775 and the subsequent War of Independence. During the 18th century each specific phase of discovery and settlement is well documented on maps of both Canada as well as maps of the whole of North America. Such key features allow the collector to place unsigned or undated maps within specific time periods. The first of these criteria is the characteristic shape applied by different cartographers to the Great Lakes. Del’Isle’s (1703-1745)(A), Bellin’s (17441755)(B) and D’Anville’s (1750-1770)(C) representations of the Lakes have characteristic patterns that allow the approximate dating of a map. The appearance of Halifax on a map places the date as post 1749. Similarly, details of the the Ohio valley appear on maps around 1755 or later. The appearance on a map of De Fonte’s supposed discoveries of navigable channels running from Hudson Bay to the west coast, point to a date 1752-1775, and occasionally even later. The early discoveries of the Russians on the west coast were first published in 1754, and the geography of the coastline was then not modified until 1784 following Cook's voyage, and both these criteria are useful markers, as are the establishment of the boundaries of the Province of Quebec (1763) and the USA boundary (1783). By the late 18th century it was finally evident that there was no easy route through to the west coast, and with the discoveries of Mackenzie & Hearne which appear on maps around 1790, the De Fonte mythical route from Hudson Bay was finally laid to rest. This initiated a renewal of Arctic exploration for the “ North-West passage ” and the start of a sequence of arctic naval voyages that continued well into the 19th century. Late 18th century markers are provided by the appearance of the Queen Charlottes off the west coast, discovered by Dixon in 1788, and finally by Vancouver's delineation of Vancouver Island. These criteria will be again emphasised in the later relevant chapters.
